Hi All I'm bottling my honey wheat beer later today, I was going to prime with honey dissolved in a little boiled water. Weight for weight, should I use the same amount of honey as I would priming sugar? Sean

Had to brew this again as the last one got infected :( but also to test the new boiler I picked up last week. Decided to scale won the recipe to deliver a cornie's worth. 4kg MO 200g Aromatic 200g Carapils 25g Green Bullet 13.6%AA FWH 15g Pacific Gem (all I had left) & 15g NS pellets at flame...

Hi All, Picked up this today from a care home where it had been condemned because there was a cut in the cable. I fixed the cable by cutting it and shortening it, then whipped out the tap and replaced with a ball valve. I was going to use a hop sock instead of a hop strainer and wondered...

I brewed my first attempt at a parti-gyle brew a fortnight ago (info here if you're interested). All went pretty well and I dry hopped the brews last weekend. Got up yesterday morning and saw this in the small beer. I've asked a number of both home and pro brewers what it is and I've been...

Hi There Been brewing nearly two years this time round. Went all grain in May this year after brewing at the rate of nearly a kit a week. Have to say how impressed I am with the How-to's. Very impressive.
